Salam Alaikum
Welcome to the tafsir class. Today inshallah we are continuing the Tafseer of surah, two Baqarah from Isaiah 45 until I have 59 and it is in the book from page 215 until 243 you have almost 250 pages in the book to read.
I am number 45 and I'm number 46. Allah subhanaw taala says after he reminded the children of Israel of the favors that he bestowed upon them and seek help in patience and Salah, and truly, it is extremely heavy and hard except for Ohashi for Stein ob Sabri was Salam ala Kabira tune in lol hace now. This is a continuation to Allah subhanaw taala taught when you try how you command, you enjoy good on people and you forget yourselves. Then he is saying was dying ob sobre la sala. Does that mean? This command only the children of Israel
seek help through patience and Salah. So it's not for us.
It's for everybody. It's always this is the rule in the Quran.
The issue is the generality of the word, not the specificity of the term or the reason of Revelation. Yes, Allah subhanaw taala is talking to the children of Israel but it is for everybody. And the proof of that is the Mohammed Salah Salim the actions of the prophet SAW Selim. Whenever he had the difficulty. What did he do?
He used to pray Canon abio sallallahu alayhi wa sallam either has Abu Amman fuzzier de la sala. So Allah is telling us here
to seek help in patience and Salah.
If you wanted help, you will get it through patience and Salah. One of the advantages of rabada
is giving you help. Salah is a bad patience is a bad you want to help the patient pray here the patience. Some scholars said it is not the patience that we know it is fasting
because one of the advantages of fasting is patience
and fasting in Arabic linguistically is to abstain from something.
Therefore Maria Maria has Salam when Allah subhanaw taala mentioned her story. In Surah Maryam Allah at Indian adultery, Rahmani sama, I pledged to Allah subhanaw taala fasting, what was the fasting?
fasting from speech? It was not fasting from food and drink. So it was abstaining from food and drink. So according to this opinion, you seek help through
fasting, which is bad, or it is the true patients that we know. There are two opinions
and it is extremely heavy or in Halak hubiera.
Not everybody does that. Many people, once they have a difficulty, they cry, they go to human beings they forget to seek help through patience through Salah.
Who does that only Alhaji on the people who have tranquility, the people who are humbly submitting to Allah subhanaw taala
the submissive people they are able to do that. To seek help through patience and prayer.
Who are Alhaji whom
they are those who are certain that they are going to meet their Lord, Allah de Nirvana and now Mullah Cora beam and that unto him, they are going to return.
So whose alhaja?
Is it the one who is focusing in the prayer? Because I may ask you according to this ayah who is alhaja
Allah mentioned the Description The next day, those who are certain of the hereafter.
They know that they will definitely return to their Lord to Allah subhanaw taala when you are like that, then you become harsher.
When you are certain of the Hereafter, then you will seek help through patience and through prayer.
Next, if you have any Israel oath Caronia matcha latte and I'm Talia Come with me for political model. I mean, all children of Israel remember my favor which I bested upon you and that I preferred you over the nation's who's better the Muslims are the children of Israel.
Muslims. What is the evidence?
The Quran does not say that the Quran says the children of Israel are better. That's what the law
says I prefer to offer the nation's
Yeah, they have the largest amount.
We need solid evidence, because
kontum hydrometeorology cleaness you are the best nation produced for mankind. When you die morona will narrow down on mocker when you enjoin good and forbid evil. So how do we reconcile who's the West? Our oma or the oma of the Jews? The children of Israel?
Allah says, I preferred you over donations. Yes.
Yeah, so we are better than the companions, the companions of the Prophet.
In one ayah.
Yes, Chad.
Okay, what did you say?
at their time, they were
the best nation? That's the correct answer, at the time of them when they were there, because they were no Muslims. And what our Shia was said is also correct. The true Muslims, the Jews, if they are true, they will follow Islam. So there is no contradiction.
Whoever submitted to Allah subhanaw taala. He is a Muslim.
So the true Jews should be Muslims. So we have no problem.
Prophet sighs salami, not Hadith he said that you are the best nation.
You are reaching, you are the 70th nation and you are the best in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala. But the issue is not who is better, because even at their time, when Allah subhanaw taala preferred them over the nations, if they disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala, then they don't deserve that rank. It's what you do. It's not who you are. Even the Muslims nowadays, they are defeated, they are weak. It's not enough. It's not sufficient to say we are Muslims. You have to prove that.
So what was the favor that Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon the children of Israel, according to that if he preferred them over the nations, and we mentioned already, many favors that Allah subhanaw taala has given
and Fira de, what Taku, Yeoman Fira, they have judgment that they you should fear when a person shall not avail another, nor will intercession be accepted from him, nor will compensation be taken from him, nor will they be helped.
Again, you remind this some remind someone by reward and punishment. You tell him
I gave you this I gave you that.
You should be better listen to me. If you don't listen to me. That's what I will do to you.
Allah subhanaw taala has reminded them in the friendly way, you are the children of Israel.
You all belong to him. jacobellis salon, you are preferred.
I visited my favorites upon you. So you better respond because that's what will happen to the people who disobey me.
Fear the day of judgment when no one will help another one. You will help yourself on only your deeds will help you.
And remember when we delivered you from France people this is one of the favors
wife Medina come in and if your honor, your su Muna come through and others who were afflicting you with the horrible torment.
Imagine if Allah subhanaw taala is mentioning horrible torment
and we're slaughtering your sons and letting your woman alive or life and they're in was a mighty trial from your Lord. That was their trial.
Pharaohs people, they enslave the children of Israel.
they slaughtered the children Why? Why they used to slaughter the sons children.
Yes, because for around he knew that there will be a messenger coming from a trophy slide. So they used to kill the sons. But after they felt that all the children will be will disappear. They needed them for the service. They used to kill one year, all the sons and they used to keep them on
And then they enslaved woman. So it's slavery.
It is slavery.
This is part of the torment
that they were afflicted with.
They were saved eventually, how they were saved Allah subhanaw taala saved them. So this is a blessing that they should thank Allah subhanaw taala for.
And remember when we separated the sea for you and saved you and drowned surrounds people, while you were watching?
This is another blessing. This man who used to enslave you this man who caused you all this trouble, look at him now you are watching you see what happened to him. This is the blessing of Allah subhanaw taala
now when I tell you remember this, remember that remember this Remember that? What do I want from you?
Why I'm reminding you always.
What do I want from you?
I want you to respond to me.
And what did Allah subhanaw taala want from the tuna fish oil, okay, he reminded them with the favors. He reminded them that they were the best nation. He reminded them that they were saved from Iran, he reminded them that the sea was separated for them, they thought they will be caught no way the soldiers behind them and the sea in front of them. But Allah subhanaw taala separated to see for them. What does Allah want from them?
To present,
they will praise him they will say we believe in Allah, we love him.
Why Allah is reminding them with the favors? Why?
Do you know he is always there? Okay.
Again, I want from you something when I tell you, I did this, and this and this and that? Yes.
Exactly. That's what Allah is asking them to do. You remember, I am the one who gave you all these favors, so respond to me. He is my messenger Muhammad SAW Selim, believe in him. That's what Allah wants from the children of Israel, to believe in the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.
And remember, when we appointed for Musa 40 nights, and in his absence, you took the calf for worship, and You were wrong doors.
Now imagine
someone
whom you helped you, you gave him everything he wants?
Yet he disobeyed you. Would you like that? Or You don't like it?
They were
subject to
torment from the church from throne and his people. They were saved. Allah subhanaw taala sent the messenger from among them musala Salah they were the sea was separated for them. And they saw
around
drowning and his people while they were watching.
Allah subhanho wa Taala asked musala salaam to come for the appointment of Allah subhanaw taala to give him the Torah. After all these favors, what did the children of Israel do in Moses absence?
They worship the calf. Now, is this something appropriate that you do and return to the favors? No, they were not appreciated.
Then after that, we forgive you, so that you might be grateful.
Although you worship the calf, what did Allah do to them?
They were forgiven.
What does that tell you?
What do you learn from this?
Allah subhanaw taala is so merciful.
They worshiped the calf yet they were forgiven, but how they were forgiven. It is coming later. Why it did not come in sequence in order because here it is suitable when Allah Subhana Allah mentioned the favorites. Again, as we said, the Quran is not
a history book. So the the sequence is not really always in order, according to the date and the time.
It's according to the lessons that you learn.
And remember, when we gave most of the Scripture and the criterion, so that you may be guided.
Alright, with Athena Mossad, Kitab al Furqan Allah Allah come
data. And remember, when Moses said to his people or my people, verily you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. Now here is the detail. You see, as Allah said that you worship the calf, and you are forgiven, how they were forgiven. They were commanded to do something. What was that thing? It is mentioned here, why it was not mentioned there.
Because they're allowed to mention the favors one of the favorites that they were forgiven. Now, it is suitable to mention what they did.
All my people Verily, you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. So turn in repentance to your Creator, and kill yourselves. That's what they were asked to do. heal themselves, because you worship the calf. You should be killed. You disobeyed Allah subhanho wa Taala. That will be better for you with your Creator, then he accepted your repentance. So that's what happened. Truly, he's the one who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful how they were commanded to kill themselves. Each one kills himself.
Or he kills another one or what?
They were commanded to kill each other.
each other the wrongdoers, the ones who worshipped the calf.
The ones who did not worship the calf, they were commanded to kill the ones who worship the calf.
Well, this is one of the opinions. Another opinion says all of them were commanded to kill each other. Even the ones who did not do it, to show their sincerity, that they are innocent. Because sometimes even if you don't do the wrong thing, if you don't do anything to correct it, you are the partner.
That's why in Islam, it's mandatory to enjoin the good and forbid the evil.
Because if you don't do anything, that means you approve it. So there are two opinions actually, one of them that the good people they were commanded to kill the wrong people who wronged themselves by worshipping the calf. Another opinion says they were commanded to kill each other
regardless of the one who did
the worship to the calf, and then what happened? They were forgiven.
If they kill each other, who remained from them.
Actually, Allah subhanaw taala asked them to stop
after they started, and they intended to kill each other and lots of them are killed. Then masala celebrate Allah subhanaw taala and Allah told them to stop.
That was sufficient as repentance.
And remember, when you said or Moosa, we shall never believe in you, until we see a lot plainly. But you were seized with a bolt of lightning while you were looking.
Now here's the thing. musala salam was the messenger of philosophy and Allah, he had the upper hand over frown, with his miracles frown intended to kill Musa and his people. They escaped, and they were saved. Allah subhanho wa Taala separated the sea for them.
So they were saved, and he drowned, drown and these people while they saw that they disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala. And they were forgiven.
Oh, that was not enough. Look what they did.
They told Moosa, we will not believe in you.
You already know he's a prophet, you already saw the miracles you already saw that Allah subhanaw taala saved you through him from frown. Yet they said we will not believe in you. Until we see a lot plainly. What do you consider that?
They consider them this belief, rudeness. They were disrespectful to their messenger. They did all that.
And then what happened? They were seized with the bolt of lightning.
Then we raised you up after your death, so that you might be grateful. Again, Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive them. See how merciful is Allah subhanaw taala with his servants with his creation.
We raised you up. Now, where do they cease only are they died?
They died literally. They lost their lives and then they were resurrected.
Yes, this is one opinion and it's strong opinion. The other opinion says they were only C's. They did not die but they slipped or they passed out of the strong opinion that they really died. Both opinions are mentioned in the book.
And he shaded you
with clouds and sent down on new elmen and the quail was Salwa
Ullman and a silver. There are two types of foods.
Eat of the good lawful things we have provided for you, but they rebelled. And they did not wronged us but they wronged themselves. Now again, after they were raised up after their death,
they asked for food.
So musala ceram pray to Allah subhanaw taala
and Allah sent down Ullman on Monday said its type of food, sweet food, and Salah is quail.
It's meat of the bird,
eat, it's free food,
where they appreciate it.
Were they happy with that? they rebelled. That's what the law says. What do you learn from this? How many times the children of Israel were given the chance
to repent or loss handle? How many times they disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala.
They disrespected their messenger, they worshiped the calf, they asked a very rude question to say Allah subhanaw taala blindly.
They did not like the free food that was coming
from the sky.
And remember when we said enter this town, Jerusalem,
and eat bountifully they're in with pleasure and delight wherever you wish. And enter the gate in frustration and say forgive us and we shall forgive you your sins and shall increase for the good doors.
Allah asked them after they were saved from around in the desert in Siena. They were commanded to enter the city. What city is it? even consider hemella mission it is Jerusalem.
The sacred city ordinance
or dhamaka. It is Jerusalem
What did they do? Did they respond?
They entered the city
that's what happened.
But those who did wrong change the word from that which had been told to them for another Baku helper that's what a lot of them was gonna call you have in Korea Atletico de la la come Baku hot button what Ali Baba su Jana coppia Cola, HIPAA say HIPAA HIPAA. What's the meaning of HIPAA? HIPAA means remove the sins from us forgive us. They changed they said hindpaw.
What's the meaning of HIPAA?
HIPAA means remove this is hamper.
It's the seat of
the spy despite the grain of the spike.
So they made fun of the words of philosophy.
And instead of entering the city,
with humbleness, frustrating,
they turned their backs and they entered their city
on their backs.
why they did that? They were rebellious.
So we sent upon wrongdoers a punishment from heaven because of their rebellion. What was the punishment?
What was their punishment?
What was the punishment when they refused? And they disobeyed their messenger
and they disobeyed the last one of them.
They
spent 40 years in the desert. Yes.
Who said that? That's a very good measure. They spent 40 years
a trip takes less than a month. They took 40 years why?
they disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala they did not learn.
When you learn and you obey, you will take things easily.
And you will reach your goal of union when you disobey Allah subhanaw taala reminds you one time, another time and you still disobey. This is by the way is not only for the children of Israel, anyone who disobeys Allah subhanaw taala. After Allah gives him the science, the proofs and the disobeys he will have a hard time the same thing.
Same thing that happened to the children for sale is happening to the Muslim and it's going to happen to anyone.
Then we are moving
to another thing Yes.
They turn back and enter the city. Yes, when they finally decided to enter the city they entered. What do you mean? With their backs? backwards?
Yeah, they were like crawling. why they did that just to disobey Allah subhanaw taala just to show their rebellion.
Then Allah says, and remember when Musa asked for water for his people, why this does camo Salah comi we said, strike the stone with your stick. Then Gosforth there from 12 Springs. Each group of people knew its own place for water. Now, Allah subhanho wa Taala sent down for them, a man and a silver, two types of food.
They said we want something else. They want water. So most le Salam asked Allah Subhana Allah and Allah subhanaw taala lesson for them the water how he asked Musa to strike the stone.
And what happened?
Water Gosforth, how many springs
12. Why?
Because they were 12 tribes again,
to avoid any problems, any dispute, each group they know their place of water, eat and drink. Alcohol is telling them enjoy, eat and drink of that which Allah has provided, and do not act currently making mischief on the earth.
So what happened? Did they respond?
No, they did not. And remember when we said when you said almost we cannot endure what kind of food now you have free food
sent down to you.
Exclusively made for you. We cannot endure one kind of food. So in work your Lord, for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows. Its herbs. It's cucumber, its full form. It could be garlic, it could be another type of food. It's lentils, and it's onions.
Look what they are asking for.
Now, can they find these types of food anywhere? Or not?
onions, lentils, cucumber, isn't it everywhere?
It's everywhere. What is so special about it?
Is there anything special about it? No. But what about the food that was sent down to them?
Was it special or not? Yes. So which Which is better? The one that they are asking for? Or the one that they already have?
The one that they already have.
But again, what do you do? If people are rebellious?
What do you do? He said masala ceram said, Would you exchange that which is better for that which is lower? What is better?
The one that is sent down to them? Go down to any town and you shall find what you want it is there any place you go you will find it. You're asking for something it's available? Why don't you keep what was sent down for you only.
Now unfortunately, maybe this is clear in the case of the children of Israel. But some people they do the same thing in a way or another. They have what is Helen and they seek what is haram? Allah gave you a nice job. Even though you may think it is little paid.
And you go there and you want to steal, you want more money in a wrong way. You have a righteous woman and you go there you want the harem. This how it's very similar to this. You think that is better outside while it is better here. But the problem you don't know.
And they were covered with humiliation and misery. Why? Because again, they disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala and they draw on themselves the Wrath of Allah. That was because they used to disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah and kill the prophets wrongfully kill.
It is in the translation
with the past tense killed while actually in the Arabic yuck to learn it is in the present. It's not in the past tense in the present. Did they kill any profit?
The children facilities did they kill any profit?
Yes or no? Yes, they killed
they killed Oh, yeah. Miss Zakaria.
It's one profit. So why Allah subhanaw taala say profits.
Yes, yes.
But he was not exactly killed. So he was not killed yet but Allah subhanaw taala says, kill the profits.
So it's plural. killing one prophet is like killing all of them disbelieving in one of them is like this really mean all of them? They didn't they try to kill Isola Salah.
Yes, so that's there No. And here because it's in the present, there is an indication that they will try to kill the prophets. I said when they did that. They tried to assassinate him.
They tried to kill him, they tried to throw the rock, and eventually the prophet SAW Selim died. One of the reasons of his death was the poison from the woman in hybrid.
It did not happen immediately, but it happened. So again, this is the eloquence of the Quran.
That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress the bounce in their disobedience to Allah subhana wa tada
and with this inshallah we'll conclude our session has also allowed Solomon and Mohammed or savage mine said, I want to come
